You will then learn about the use of GIS along with other technologies in representing data to the real world. Lastly you will be introduced to the global positioning system which is one of those systems which can be a key technology that drives the geographic information system. You will then gain an understanding of how different data can be collected using a geographic positioning system. This will then lead you to remote sensing which is using earth-orbiting satellites or even high altitude planes in order to collect information about images of a region an area or a phenomenon. This will further bring you up to speed with spatial analysis which has to do with using a system to derive meaningful information from data.
